1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,640
Speaker 1: I mean it's everything you kind of pictured, um, you know,

2
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:05,160
Speaker 1: after after a hard fought game and you know, a

3
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 1: two point conversion to win. I mean, it was exciting. Electric.

4
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:11,160
Speaker 1: Guys were kind of beside themselves. But you know, besides

5
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:14,080
Speaker 1: the excitement, the guys, the guys believe, right, I mean

6
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 1: that's the I think that's the thing that I see

7
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 1: is that they believe in themselves. They believe in this team,

8
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 1: you know, and and amongst all the excitement that that's

9
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: what it that's what it means more to me, you know,

10
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 1: with these guys, but very excited electric. Um. You know,

11
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 1: these guys really deserve this one. What went into the

12
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 1: decision to go for it? On on for the two pointer?

13
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: And then can you describe sort of how Trevor and

14
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: Zay executed that? What do we got to lose? I mean,

15
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:42,239
Speaker 1: you know, and and this is this is something I

16
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 1: told the staff during the during that last I don't know,

17
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,239
Speaker 1: five or six minutes of the game, It's like, you know,

18
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: we gotta think players, not plays, you know, and and

19
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: and and trust our guys and you know, and and

20
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: and that's what this game are. Our guys believe, they

21
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: believe and once we scored that touchdown at the end.

22
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: You know, they wanted to go for two. It wasn't

23
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: my decision that players were like let's go, you know,

24
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 1: and and um, I got a lot of faith and

25
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: trust in them and just a well executed place to play.

26
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: We've had in our game plan pretty much every week

27
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 1: and and um we were able to pull it out great.

28
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 1: You know, Trevor today was you know, as lights out.

29
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: He played extremely well. That throw that catch um for

30
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: the two point was was a thing of beauty. And um,

31
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: you know, I think it's a football team too, you know,

32
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: A win like this just you know, UM kind of

33
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: kind of heads us in the right direction. A little

34
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:41,639
Speaker 1: bit earlier in that drive Doug three and two, fourth

35
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 1: and five, I believe it was, um, you know, it

36
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 1: feels like around here typically it would have been a

37
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: lot of panic. It Trevor looked like a veteran quarterback

38
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: and he didn't really sense any of that happening. What

39
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 1: what was your view of those two plays in particular?

40
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: I mean, you're you're exactly right. I mean, I think

41
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: I think that's what you're seeing with with our team

42
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: is is just the now the growth and the maturity. Um,

43
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 1: and you know, and again it's just there's no panic

44
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: with these guys. You know, they believe in themselves. They

45
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: understand that, yeah, we've put ourselves in a bit of

46
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,399
Speaker 1: a pickle. There are no situations, but we also knew

47
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: we had four downs and and the guys just uh,

48
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: um they made plays. And that's that's kind of been

49
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: the difference between say, the first ten and and obviously

50
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: this this one here is just on and really all

51
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: three phases. You know, um, guys making plays you know, uh,

52
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 1: you know, on the field, and and that's what it takes.

53
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 1: I mean, it was it a perfect game. No, by

54
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,959
Speaker 1: no means that's a good football team that we played

55
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: playoff caliber team. Um my hats off to them and um,

56
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: but but you know, our guys just kept fighting and believing.

57
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: Uh Doug, um, congrats on the win. First off, But

58
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 1: what were the emotions like in that last fourteen seconds?

59
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 1: Was it like that we leave too much time on

60
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: the clock? And what was it feeling like when Tucker's

61
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 1: ball was in the air at that last play? Um? Yeah,

62
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, obviously, I you can't worry about

63
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: the time. You're just trying to execute the two point conversion.

64
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: But you know, we knew we were gonna hard squib there. Um,

65
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: even the return they were there. You know, that's that's

66
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: a big guy there, that's returning that football. And and listen,

67
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: we know Tucker is a great kicker. Um. You know

68
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 1: the fifty yard line is about right he crosses the

69
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: the you know, when they crossed the fifty, you can

70
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: you can bank on on three points. And um, that

71
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: ball felt like it was up there for a long time,

72
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: you know. And and uh, I'm just happy we it

73
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: was on our end. Hey, Doug, just just to be clear,

74
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: were you planning on going for two? You know after

75
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: that last touchdown and the players just kind of set

76
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: it as well? Where did you really leave that up

77
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: to them to make the decision? I mean we talked

78
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: about as a staff even before the drive, um, And

79
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: and I had my mind made up. I wanted to

80
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: go for two. But but during that drive, even after

81
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: the score, the the offensive guys were like, Coach, let's

82
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: just let's just let's just finish this thing right here.

83
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: And uh so I had my mind made up. But obviously,

84
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: you know, um, when the players have that much confidence

85
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: in themselves and in us, and um, to go for

86
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: it like that. You know, Um, you gotta believe him,

87
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: you know, and you gotta trust them, and uh, they

88
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 1: did a great job. What does the game winning drive

89
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: like that do for a quarterback, a young quarterback who's

90
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 1: still struggling to find the consistency you want him, hasn't

91
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 1: really had big time moments like that. It's a step

92
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: in the right direction, you know. And and he's I

93
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: would say these last three three games or so, Um,

94
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 1: he's really you know, has done a really nice job

95
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 1: with our system and our offense. And you know, even

96
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: a game like today, Again it wasn't a perfect game,

97
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 1: but you know, statistically speaking, I think he had a

98
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 1: pretty good game and um, you know, took care of

99
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 1: the football. But you know, he's heading in the right direction.

100
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: And and look it's just it's just one one step

101
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 1: and where we uh you know, want to go. Great

102
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 1: team win today, and we can build on it and

103
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: look forward to next week. What's say for your defense

104
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: to stop damn, you have to have the end zone

105
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 1: on four of six red zone possessions today, It speaks volumes.

106
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: I thought our defense really stepped up in the red

107
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: zone today. Um, did a nice job they're holding them

108
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 1: to kicks. You know, obviously, you know they're a team

109
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: that is electric running the football. You know, La Mars

110
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: a tremendous guy, you know, and and um, yeah, I

111
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 1: just think our defense really did a nice job when

112
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: you got down in there that uh you know, um

113
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: really really just holding them to those those those field goals.

114
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 1: I think is it could have been a different football game.

115
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: You know, if it's uh, if they score on one

116
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,599
Speaker 1: or two of those, you know, possessions could be different.

117
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: But defense did a nice job down there. Just the

118
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: rhythm of throws on that last drive. I mean, it

119
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: wasn't just one maybe five on that drive were you

120
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: know they were they were not gimme pots. You know.

121
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 1: It's I think it's times. It's the difference, you know,

122
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: what we see in Trevor and sometimes what what the

123
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 1: fan might see or what y'all might see. I mean,

124
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: this guy, this guy had he throws an incredibly good football,

125
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: and he's smart and he sees the field and he

126
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: can make all the throws. And you're just seeing that.

127
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: You're just seeing that execution with him and and that

128
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: maturity with him and and he listen, he's he played

129
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: a really good game today. And uh, but his guys

130
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: played a really good game. His O line played a

131
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: great game. You know, his tight ends blocked the backs,

132
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 1: the receivers, everybody you know on offense played a great

133
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: game to to help us win this one. Um. You know,

134
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 1: defense came up with some big critical turnovers and some

135
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 1: stops like we talked about. So you know, it's a

136
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 1: step in the right direction for Trevor. Um excited for

137
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 1: you know, for his growth obviously, and and this is

138
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: this is a big one for for all of us.

139
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: How big was Jamichael Hasty in relief of Travis Etm today?

140
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 1: For you guys, it was huge. Hats off to him,

141
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: you know, to come in there and again it wasn't

142
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 1: a perfect game, but but for him to run hard

143
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: like he did, um catch the ball like he did.

144
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 1: You know. Um, gosh, my hat's off for for a

145
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: guy that we just added to the roster at the

146
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,239
Speaker 1: beginning of the year too, to be in this position

147
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: to help us win a game like this. My hats

148
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: off to him. And any update on Travis et In yeah,

149
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: you know, we didn't rule him out. We thought he

150
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: could go. Um, it is a medical it's you know,

151
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: we we gotta, we gotta get more information tonight, you know,

152
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: and check him out. I mean, he was, he was

153
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: walking around the sideline. He felt fine, but you know,

154
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: I just I just don't want to risk it with him,

155
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: you know, right now, and and um so it's just

156
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: my decision to keep him out. But we'll we'll check

157
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,559
Speaker 1: him out tonight and have probably a better update tomorrow. Coach,

158
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 1: you talked about players not plays, uh z A Jones

159
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: loving for one. I think that's one of the highest

160
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 1: totals for a receiver on this team this year. Were

161
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: just scheming him open or as as a game went on,

162
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: or did he just keep making plays over and over?

163
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: I think he just kept making plays. I mean the

164
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: game plans or you know, each week, or to try

165
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: to get our guys the football obviously, you know, as

166
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: one of them Christians, one of them marv all those guys,

167
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: you know, and and sometimes it's uh, you know who

168
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: has the hot hand, you know, and and they they

169
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: really uh played extremely well, you know, and and what

170
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 1: a what a tough couple of catches down the stretch

171
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: and and obviously you know, none bigger than that two

172
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: point conversion. Go back to the defense doug Um. They

173
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 1: held him in the red zone, but they also they bent,

174
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: but they didn't break down the field. Do There was

175
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: the midfield play there at the end of the half

176
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: that set up the first touchdown the third quarter, there

177
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 1: was the one at the five yard line where they

178
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: they stopped Lamar and forced the field goal. There. Can

179
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: you just talk about the nature They gave up some

180
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: big yards, some big plays, but they rallied. What what

181
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: does that say about the way that this defense is playing.

182
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: They're coming together, They're coming together, they're believe it in themselves,

183
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: m believe it in the scheme, trusting each other, you know,

184
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: and and that and that's what it takes. It's this

185
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 1: thing is not a you know, you're not gonna fix

186
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: it in one, two, three, four or five ball games.

187
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,199
Speaker 1: You know, it takes some time. And um, yeah, there

188
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: were some there were some explosive plays that we gave

189
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: up and we gotta we gotta fix those and correct it.

190
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 1: But you know, for them not to panic either and

191
00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: and to really bow their neck in the red zone

192
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: and you know, hold them to to field goals, I

193
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 1: think it's it's huge. It's really the I think to me,

194
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: it's it could be the difference in the football game,

195
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: quite honestly. Um. And and so defensively, you know, Mike

196
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: Scheme and the coaches did a did a nice job,

197
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: you know, of of game planning for Lamar and that offense.

198
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 1: And you know, um, yeah, you're gonna listen, you're not

199
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: gonna keep them down, right, I mean, they're an explosive

200
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: offense and and uh, but yet when they get down

201
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: in the red zone, our guys did a nice job

202
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: of holding them, holding them to three simplicity. I think

203
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: it can help, you know, I think it can help.

204
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: Just turn guys loose a little bit, let them play

205
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 1: and use their strengths. Yeah, hey, Doug, sticking with the defense,

206
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 1: can you talk a little bit about Chad Muma. You

207
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 1: don't normally see a rookie helping guys get lined up,

208
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 1: especially a guy was making his first start. Uh, where

209
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: you please with what you saw from him, you know,

210
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: from the sideline. Yeah, obviously, get a chance to watch

211
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 1: the tape and and and watch it back and and

212
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 1: evaluate it. But I thought, overall, yeah, I did a

213
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: nice job. You saw Foyer kind of in and around

214
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: some plays a little bit more, and and um, you know,

215
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: a lot of it goes, you know, to the point

216
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: of simplicity. It just allows the guys to be free

217
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: and and um, you know, play to their strength. So

218
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 1: but but you know, from my vantage point, I thought

219
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: Chad did some good things
